In report.php class, line 94 you echo inside the class but you should use return:

return $employee_id; #last id of multiple insert

In same function you should set a mysql_query() in order to insert. But it seems you want to send groups of arrays, reordered by report.php view, but there is something wrong, when you write:

$report->request_date[$i] = $_POST["request_date"];

you are not considering that multiple values are set under request_date (and also the others fields of the form), try to simply print_r() that variable: <?php print_r($_POST['request_date']); ?> and you will see an array with a value for each report form, so if there are three reports you will have three request_date values. At the moment you get six different arrays from your form and you need to create a single array, like in this example:

<html>
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
<?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
{
        print_r($_POST['a']);
        echo "<br />";
        print_r($_POST['b']);

        $neworder = '';
        $c = count($_POST['a']);
        for($i = 0; $i < $c; $i++)
        {
                $neworder[] = array($_POST['a'][$i],$_POST['b'][$i]);
        }
        echo "<br /><pre>";
        print_r($neworder);
        echo "<pre>";
}
?>
<form method="post" action="">
a: <input type="text" name="a[]" />
b: <input type="text" name="b[]" />
<br />
a: <input type="text" name="a[]" />
b: <input type="text" name="b[]" />
<br />
<input type="submit" name="button" value="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

The output:

Array ( [0] => a [1] => aa ) # first report
Array ( [0] => b [1] => bb ) # last report

# single array
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => a
            [1] => b
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => aa
            [1] => bb
        )
)

Or you can try to create part of the insert string, similar to previous example:

<html>
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
<?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
{
        print_r($_POST['a']);
        echo "<br />";
        print_r($_POST['b']);

        $neworder = '';
        $c = count($_POST['a']);
        for($i = 0; $i < $c; $i++)
        {
                $a = $_POST['a'][$i];
                $b = $_POST['b'][$i];
                if($i != $c-1)
                {
                        $neworder .= "values('$a','$b'), ";
                }
                else
                {
                        $neworder .= "values('$a','$b')";
                }

        }
        echo "<br /><pre>";
        print_r($neworder); # values to insert
        echo "<pre>";
}
?>
<form method="post" action="">
a: <input type="text" name="a[]" />
b: <input type="text" name="b[]" />
<br />
a: <input type="text" name="a[]" />
b: <input type="text" name="b[]" />
<br />
<input type="submit" name="button" value="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

The output will be:

Array ( [0] => a [1] => aa ) # first group
Array ( [0] => b [1] => bb ) # last group

# string
values('a','b'), values('aa','bb')

At this point you need only to insert:

mysql_query("insert into table ('field_A','field_B') $neworder");

In order to make it work with your class, you can: send a single array (reordered) to addReport() instead of single strings just like in my first example (I think you will need to serialize* data to get the array inside the function and unserialize to get it to work again) and finally create a loop to sanitize each value and, similarly to my second example, create the values() part of the insert string.

Hope is enough clear and not too long, bye :)

Hai socialmd !!
Your question is how to insert multiple to your MySql table..
My suggestion is get max count loop it..
here is an example , i tried it its works for me..
I have attached it..

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
$con=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
$table=mysql_select_db("practise") or die (mysql_error());
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$count2 = $_POST["hidden"];
 for($i=1;$i<=$count2;$i++)
 {
 $save = mysql_query("INSERT into multiple_action (name, age, phno, qualification) VALUES ('".$_POST["name$i"]."', '".$_POST["age$i"]."', '".$_POST["phone$i"]."', '".$_POST["qualification$i"]."')");
 }
if($save)
{
echo '<script type="text/javascript">alert("Saved Success !");</script>';
}
else
{
echo '<script type="text/javascript">alert("Failed");</script>';
}
}
?>

	<td>Phone</td>
	<td>Qualification</td>
</tr>
<?php
if(isset($_GET['order']))
{
$count = $_GET['no']-1; //get the num of times as numeric
while($i <= $count)// loop by using while(),NOTE the looping dynamic textbox must be under the for loop othet must be outside of while()
{
$i++;
?>
<tr>
	<td><input type="text" name="name<?php echo $i; ?>" /></td>

	<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save Multiple" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>

Try it it will work, Hope it may work for you

Dynamic Fields js/php to MySql need to submit dynamically to the database
not database.php is not include page.
